Simpson Set To
Arrive This Year
WICHITA, KANS.
If he can keep up his sizzling
hitting which has sparked many
a Cleveland drive, Harry (Suit
case) Simpson figures that this
year he will have “arrived’’. And
he may at last get that home
for his mother which he’s always
wanted.
Harry started off spring train
ing at a hot tempo. And now as
the exhibition season draws to a
close and the real thing begins,
he still leads the team with a
.462 t>atting average. He’s pUed
up the most homers, too—8 all
total.
The simply elated Simpaon
loves to talk about his power
though he isn’t amazed by it at
aUi? “I did It in the minors," he
explains. “It proves I had the
power. In my two years in the
minors, I itit 84 homers, 85 tri
ples and 68 double*. I knew I
had it in me.”

As he packed his tow bats
with which he’s done moat of
his slugging; Simpson sighed;
“Wouldn’t it be nice, it this were
October 1st? Then Hank
(Greenberg) would have to give
me a nice fat salary. I’d like to
build a nice home for my mom
up north, some place near Ak
ron, Ohio. She’s paralyzed, you
know. I’d like a ranch-type
house, away from the city where
we can have some flowers.”

It was not entirely clear here
early this week just what action

in face of the dismissal from the

Big Luke Easter
Hitting Bushel
Of Bingles
WICHITA, KAN..
There was a time when the
Indians’ front office would wor
ry no end if Luke Easter didn’t
hit them over the fences. How.
ever, during the current grape
fruit circuit, Luke hasn’t been
getting many long balls, but he’s
certainly stacked up the singles.
And how is the front office
taking this? Why, both Green
berg and Manager Lopez haven’t
opened their mouths since the
singles are coming when they’re
needed.
Perhaps the Tribe now reall-
aoB thet-Luke-struck—out—or
popped up too many times In
the clutch last year when aim
ing for a homer. If you will only
let him alone, the big fellow
can hit a lot of singles and
doubles to left and left center.
And it will certainly be more
valuable in the long run than
the once.in-a-while fibmer.
Allen, driver of the car, said
that he was travelling at about
45 or 50 miles an hour -when
he saw the boy run Into the
highway. The officer who in
vestigated the accident quoted
the dead boy’s sister as saying
that he was going at a high
rate of speed.
